Support my Family

First off… I hate asking for help. I hate being here. But regardless, I do need help to give my sister the life she deserves.

For some back story, my older sister has lived at our old family home for 22 years. She has known that as her home for all that time and has seen it at its best and, most recently, at its worst. After our mother died it was just her and my dad. Due to depression and bad decisions the house slowly fell to ruin. Trash piled up. Filth caked the carpet. Fleas infested everything. It’s truly awful and I cannot stress that enough. On top of that bills fell behind. Over the last few months my sister has had to be without water and A/C. She’s had to get by on what little she could. She also had to stop working in order to receive vital healthcare to heal a wound she’d had on her legs for years.

The plan was always to include her in our household once my husband and I got a house. We’d been planning on a house big enough for all of us. But plans were moved forward. She’s being evicted. She has to be out by the 6th. Luckily we have room for her but money is going to be tight. My husband lost his job and we’re scraping by on what I make. He’s doing delivery jobs but the money is inconsistent.

I want my sister to have a better life here and she will but I want her to have stuff that’s hers. I want her to be able to have nice things in her room and to have essentials that she likes. This is all so hard on her and I want to support as much as I can but I’m drowning and can only do what I can. We’re building up debt because we needed to get my husband his own vehicle to be able to get a job and I’m struggling to stay on top of everything.

I just want to support my family. I want to provide for them and I’m trying as hard as I can. Just a little bit of help would be appreciated even if I hate to ask.
